LabIT Backend

This repository contains code for the LabIT backend. This code takes care of:

• Ordering a test
• Creating an HL7 message
• Sending the HL7 message back to this backend and parsing it
• Authentication for mobile front-ends
• Sending push notifications
• Acknowledging receipt of a notification
• Updating a client services dashboard to show status of notifications

This is hosted on Heroku and talks to a database hosted on AWS. The database credentials are in a file called secrets.py

To run this locally:

1. Create a virtual environment if you want. mkvirtualenv labitenv
2. Install the requirements. pip install -r requiriements.txt
3. Run the server python manage.py runserver

To push to heroku

The project is live at labitbackend.herokuapp.com
